I realize that Gute and MLF, even though both of them are relatively young, have already forgotten more than I will ever know. Love may well be the franchise QB of the future. I know I have to accept this. However, right or wrong, when I hear others compare him to Cutler and Trubisky, I get a little concerned. Only time will tell.

It makes me chuckle when I read posts that say drafting Love is drafting for the future. As if drafting a WR, OT LB or any other player is not ALSO drafting for the future. It just happens that in doing so they are also drafting for the short term as well. Drafting the BPA at a position of need gives the team more value out of the player's rookie contract. Hopefully anyway. The only time I want to see Love on the field in 2020 and 2021 is moping up in a runaway win.

There is no doubt that GB is in need of a quality backup QB. Even with limited preseason practices Love should still be able to fill that need.

There have been a lot of posts in this section and rightfully so, I can't remember who mentioned Aaron only having 3 years left on his contract. He has 4 years. He is under contract through the 2023 season.

It's true that Rodgers has four years remaining on his contract, but after three years, the Packers can move on from him without taking a massive cap hit (I think the number is $2.8 million at that point). That would leave Green Bay with two years to evaluate what they have in Love, assuming they exercise the fifth-year option.

True the cap hit would be greatly reduced in year 4 but that had not been stated previously. At least I didn't see it.
Also I have not said it here but I have said so for years that I think QBs need a 3 year apprenticeships.

This tweet is rather cryptic, but it provides some interesting food for thought:

Anyone have some explanations for what might have been going on behind the scenes here?

Andrew Brandt weighs in and seems pretty positive about the pick:

John Kuhn has some good things to say too:

And anonymous rando on the internet is feeling pretty good about Love too:

That being said, Aaron Rodgers fan isn't feeling so great right now:

Tape guru Ben Fennell had high words of praise for Love back in February, but he wasn't terribly high on the pick last night.

He struck a chord with other fans who feel that the Packers should be going all-in on Rodgers instead of planning for the future.

And then there's this asshole, who's just pulling shit out of his ass.

Yeah, I guess Aaron should’ve played DLine or MLB in that game and stopped the run. That loss is almost 100% on the shitty defensive play.

Now add in statistics for our side.

Kansas City didn't do much different than we did, aside from their star QB not turning the ball over three times.

I keep seeing “Rodgers didn’t buy into the offense”. What proof of that being the case is there? Could it be he didn’t have the weapons to properly execute the offense?
Will this pick “light a fire” under Rodgers?
My personal opinion is that Rodgers will be more open to teach Love then he got from Favre.
